A further, object of the" 'nventionfisfto It provide-a rad'ihtor attachment of "th'eabove mentioned cha acter w ich isadapted tdfbe connected to t e usual air washer of the Fordson type-whereby the-steamk-fgom the attachment may water in the-air washer and the vapor p'asses into the carbureter and becomes'commmgled .withjlie gases before the same enter the in-' take manifold. I A further object of the invention is to provide an attachment of the above mentioned character, which is of such construction as to permit the same to be easily, and -readily placed in osition on a tractor-radiator and 39 which Wll at all times be positive and ch'icient in carrying out the purposes for which it is designated A still further object is to provide a radiator attachment of the above mentione character, which is simple in construction,

inexpensive, strong and durable.v
